What is 6LoWPAN?• Acronym for IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks.

• Standard from the maker of Internet (IETF) which works with existing Internet infrastructure (30+ years)

• Widely accepted Standard and created Internet based on IP architecture

• It provides

• Adaptation layer for interoperability and packet formats

• Adapting the packet sizes of the two networks

• Address resolution

• Addressing management mechanisms

• Routing considerations and protocols for mesh topologies in 6LoWPAN

• Scalable

Internet of Things Group 6

Why 6LoWPAN and what are the possibilities?

Internet of Things Group

What is NetContiki?

• Fork of Contiki OS

• Numerous Bug fixed in Contiki OS and other components (eg. CoAP) with optimization towards commercialization

• Features and tools

• Interoperable IPSO 6LoWPAN stack

• Automatic channel selection

• Over the air upgrade

• Optimization in mesh routing

• Security framework

• Scalable to have larger network per routing device
